Black screen Me and my friends camera has the same problem black screen. The camera is working ok but the screen is black and all the photos i take is black. Canon ixus 75 Anders

black screen blur image showing cannot see subject to be photographed when camera power on,if press to take photo nothing shows, just black screen. it was fine one minute then nothing the next. battery is fully charged, memory card ok.

try to do software. check if the display is ok. try to think if the optic of your camera maybe close. if optic close change barrel. if software cannot fix your problem try to hard reset.

try changing image quality when in camera mode settings

Delete the photos from your computer. Most camera software has the option of copying or moving the pictures to your computer. Moving them will free up the space on your flash card. Sometimes the software will let you delete the photos directly. If this does not work, then take the card out and find a friend with a card reader in their computer. They should be able to help you open the file on the card with the photos (often named DCIM). Then you can delete the photos just like you would delete a file. If you can find a friend with a card reader, take the card to a photo printer and beg a favor.

Time for a new camera, the cost to have it exchanged by Nikon is near the cost to replace.

Hold down the display button for a few seconds...

It worked on my Caplio R7 which was doing this all weekend...

hope this helps

try display button on camera panel

if photos come as simply black then most probably your CCD is dead

sorry I have the same problem. It seems like it is a shutter problem...the shutter is locked closed therefore the screen is black.

Your camera has a defective CCD imager. Please return the camera to Canon in New Jersey and they will replace the CCD at no charge to you. This is a known issue and should be covered under extended warranty. Good luck my friend. Joe Weibel customelectronics.org
